Minimalist 3 day+ tour
Minimum essentials?
I will be cycling around the Izu peninsula on Honshu in Japan, probably staying at youth hostels/on a ferry overnight. I am not too concerned about rain, its hot and if it rains, so be it. I want to only take a front bar bag. In the front bag: (not including what I am wearing) 1 cycling shirt 1 pair of cycling shorts 1 Pair of reg sports shorts Camera wallet/ID/Money/Insu card Sandals Sunscreen/soap/toothbrush/paste extra food maybe a book Saddle bag (all typical cycling essentials/flat repair tools) Anything else I need? Everything will be sealed in plastic bags (double for the expensive camera)... Anything else? e

Re: Minimalist 3 day+ tour
Why do you need 2 cycle shorts and shirts?
I bought a collared shirt that looks reasonably neat from Kathmandu thats made from Coolmax. Dries quickly and compacts to zip. Wash your one piar of cycling clothes easch night using shampoo. I use recess cleat shoes such as shimano SHM 038 with speedplay frogs so that I dont need sandals. You do need a pair of socks though. I carry 2 spare tubes ! x puncture kit 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5 mm allen keys 3 tire levers Spare cables spare chain links spoke wrench. in a waterbottle container. Why do you need the saddle bag?? Do a trial run to make sure everything fits and works. Cheers Geoff shorts and Quote:
